Anaesthesia for an obese parturient poses a challenge to anaesthesiologists. Here we report a case of 27 years obese primigravidae at 40 weeks of gestation with gestational hypertension who underwent elective cesarean section under combined spinal epidural anaesthesia. Her intraoperative and postoperative periods were uneventful.

We present the first reported case involving the peripartum anaesthetic management of dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency in a 22-year-old primigravida with high-grade placenta praevia. Elective caesarean section was performed at 36 weeks gestation with a combined spinal-epidural regional anaesthetic technique. Extensive preparation was undertaken to manage the consequences of obstetric haemorrhage and consideration given to potential pharmacological sensitivities suspected to exist in patients with this rare disorder affecting sympathetic nervous system function. An uncomplicated caesarean section was performed from which the patient recovered well to be discharged home with a healthy baby.

Tumour Removal

AbstractPresentation of primary intracranial tumour during pregnancy is extremely rare. Symptoms of brain tumour include nausea, vomiting, headache and seizures which mimic symptoms of pregnancy-related hyperemesis or eclampsia. In very few cases, craniotomy tumour removal is performed earlier or even simultaneously with foetal delivery. A 40-year-old woman at 32 weeks of gestation in foetal distress presented to the emergency room with decreased level of consciousness Glasgow Coma Scale 6 (E2M2V2). Computed tomographic scan revealed a mass lesion over the left temporoparietal region with midline shift and intratumoural bleeding. In view of high risk of herniation and foetal distress, she underwent emergency caesarean section followed by craniotomy tumour removal. In parturient with brain tumour, combined surgery of tumour removal and caesarean section is decided based on clinical symptoms, type of tumour and foetal viability. Successful anaesthetic management requires a comprehensive knowledge of physiology and pharmacology, individually tailored to control intracranial pressure while ensuring the safety of mother and foetus.
